LRT on Transit Mall construction timeline:
-Final Design: Oct 2005 to Sep 2006
-Private Utility Location: Jan 2006 to Dec 2006
-Buses Move Off the Mall: Jan 2007
-Public Utility Location: Sep 2006 to Feb 2008
-Construction: Jan 2007 to Nov 2008
-Buses Move Back to the Mall: Spring 2009
-LRT on Mall (and I-205) Opens: Sep 2009

By the way, September is MAX month: Banfield MAX opened September 1986, Westside MAX opened September 1998, Airport MAX opened September 2001, Interstate MAX was supposed to open September 2004 but was moved up to May 2004.

It appears that the old firehouse at Glisan & 3rd and the RR Signal Tower at Hoyt & 4th will be demolished for the light rail tracks.

There will be a gated crossing on the west approach to the Steel Bridge so the trains can cross from the center of the bridge roadway to the north side of the bridge (along the railroad tracks by Union Station).
